A few weeks ago my girls had their dance recital. They were in the same class, so I was super excited to see them TOGETHER on stage.

My Grandma Viefhaus joined us, along with my Aunt Pat, and I thought it was so cute how Gracie continually attempted to hop up onto their laps and read…in the dark. Luckily, “Black & White” has no words. Only pictures.

A backstage action shot. They were rockin’ the mascara don’t you think?

Ready to go on stage!

Mia and Ella, one of her besties from dance class. Love. This. Picture.

Sister shot. Sophie is still in that “I like to snuggle for pictures with my sisters” mode. Mia, not so much. Why must they grow up?

Sophie spotted Gracie when the show was over, ran straight to her and gave her the biggest hug ever. It was so adorable. She loves her little sister so much. And Gracie, wholeheartedly, loves her right back.

Nana and Papa also came to cheer on the girls and gave them some fun gifts after the show.

Here are the tiny dancers along with my Grandma Viefhaus and my Aunt Pat. Two of my favorite people. They kindly brought the girls flowers that they both loved so much.

Daddy and Gracie posing post-recital contemplating how many years until she can dance with her big sisters.

Me and my fancy dance girls.

As we headed to our car, I had to get one last shot of the two of them and all their lime green glory.

An “after party” with Nana & Papa at Daddy’s favorite restaurant.

And the day was finally complete after getting a few ice cream cones on the way home.

I love, love, love the simplicity yet pizzazz of their lime green costumes! My daughter was just in her first recital and her costume was my least favorite out of ALL of them! ;-( Love your blog....could you please send me your button? Thanks a million ~ Amy from flipflopfollies.com ;-)

About Me

I am a wife to Steve and a Mommy to three little girls, Mia, Sophie and Gracie. Our family also includes our two dogs and one cat. Also girls. Our house truly is a Haus of Girls. Poor Steve! Our girls are my inspiration for all that I do. I am thankful to spend each day with them as they grow and learn more about life and the world. I feel complete, now, raising my family. No career or money is worth more to me than my little girls and being here for them everyday. When I am 85 sitting in a rocking chair, I will have no regrets. I will know I lived my life to the fullest and gave my girls the best gift in the world... their momma by their side.
